got a recruiter chat first. then i had a 30 min chat with someone on the team. then i did a perf task that took like 2 hours. last thing was another chat with my direct bosses.
- What's your approach to handling stressful situations?

I met with the team I'd be working with, my next supervisor, and some higher-ups. The team interview had a few people, but the others were just 1:1. It was nice and informative, and they were clear about what happens next.
- What trait in a manager would make you not want to work for them, and could you explain why?
Editor
I've been through CA's interview process twice, once pre-pandemic with in-person interviews at their Billerica office for two different roles. For both, I was a finalist or even the top pick. One time, they even asked for my references. The second time, they sent over benefits info, including pricing for health insurance options. I'm pretty sure I was a top candidate both times. However, both times, I only received a generic email saying I wasn't a fit, with no personal feedback, even though I thought I was getting an offer. It's confusing because the process involved building relationships with an HR rep over months with lots of communication, only to end with a form letter, especially after they requested my references' contact info (though they didn't end up contacting them). This isn't acceptable.
- The interviews felt more like conversations at all levels.
